Much-debated Jewish archive won’t return to Iraq—for now — JNS.org
A much-debated artifacts collection from the historical Jewish community
in Baghdad that was slated to return to Iraq will remain in the United
States for an additional two years, following last week’s announcement
of an agreement between Iraqi officials and the U.S. State Department.
The Saddam Hussein regime in 1984 forcibly seized the 2,700-item
collection that has become known as the “Iraqi Jewish Archive” from the
Bataween synagogue in Baghdad. The archive includes community records,
Jewish books, and sacred items that belonged to the Baghdadi Jewish
community.
